Clitoral Hood Reduction (Hoodoplasty)

Hoodoplasty

Clitoral Hood Reduction—also known as hoodoplasty—is a delicate surgical procedure that reduces excess tissue of the clitoral hood to improve both aesthetic appearance and sexual comfort.
At Saga Clinic Tirana, Dr. Eser Agar performs hoodoplasty using a precise, anatomy-focused approach that fully preserves the clitoris and its nerve supply.

What Is Hoodoplasty?

The clitoral hood is a natural fold of skin that protects the clitoris. In some women, this tissue can be excessive, asymmetric, or bulky, leading to:

  • Discomfort or rubbing during daily activities
  • Reduced sexual stimulation or difficulty in arousal
  • Hygiene challenges
  • Aesthetic imbalance, especially when combined with enlarged labia minora

Hoodoplasty removes the excess skin while maintaining the natural shape and protective function of the clitoral hood.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate if you experience:

  • Excessive clitoral hood tissue
  • Asymmetry between the folds
  • Difficulty with clitoral exposure during sexual arousal
  • Discomfort, friction, or irritation
  • A desire for improved aesthetic harmony of the vulva
  • Labia minora enlargement (patients often combine hoodoplasty with labiaplasty)

Hoodoplasty is not performed on the clitoris itself—only on the surrounding skin.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Eser Agar uses refined, nerve-sparing techniques based on your natural anatomy.

1. Conservative Hood Reduction

Removes minimal tissue for a subtle improvement while maintaining full coverage.

2. Central Hoodoplasty

Reduces vertical excess along the midline for patients with central hood prominence.

3. Lateral Hoodoplasty

Targets excess skin on the sides of the clitoral hood, often combined with labiaplasty.

4. Composite Labiaplasty + Hoodoplasty

A combined procedure addressing both the labia minora and clitoral hood to achieve overall symmetry and harmony.

5. Laser or RF-Assisted Hoodoplasty

Enhances precision, reduces bleeding, and accelerates healing.

All techniques are performed with strict protection of the clitoral neurovascular bundle, ensuring safe outcomes.

How the Procedure Is Performed

  • Outpatient procedure
  • Local anesthesia or sedation anesthesia
  • Duration: 30–60 minutes
  • Dissolvable sutures
  • No alteration of clitoral anatomy

You may return home the same day.

Recovery After Hoodoplasty

  • Mild swelling for 5–10 days
  • Return to work: 1–3 days
  • Light activity: after several days
  • Exercise & sports: 4 weeks
  • Sexual intercourse: 6 weeks
  • Final aesthetic result: 6–12 weeks

Care instructions are tailored to ensure smooth healing.

Possible Risks

When performed by an experienced surgeon, hoodoplasty is safe.
Potential risks include:

  • Temporary swelling or bruising
  • Mild asymmetry
  • Scarring
  • Sensitivity changes (usually temporary)
  • Delayed wound healing

Protection of the clitoral nerves is a strict priority.
